So I’m new to the group but not new to drone photography. I bought my first DJI Phantom 3 years back back as I was trying to get into Wedding Photography but a year or two into the crazy life of weddings I gave up (Bride Zilla’s). Then I found that using my Phantom led to nothing but abuse from bystanders. After a year or two I decided to change to the DJI mini 4k and am very happy with it. I haven’t really done much with it yet apart from some work related footage and family stuff but will be taking it to the IOW next week and intend to give it the full work out.. The only footage I ever uploaded from the Phantom can be found here

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.
There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

Enjoy the mini and the club
Hi Darren @Nickisson welcome to the GADC I live in Pompey and have flown my drones (previously a Mini 3 Pro, now an Air 3) several times over on the island. It’s fantastic over there and you should have a great time especially if this weather keeps up!
